UNCG SERIES NOTES
• North Carolina is 9-0 all-time against UNC Greensboro.
• UNC and UNCG met eight times over the course of five seasons between 1975 and 1979, but have met just one time since, a 103-48 Tar Heel victory on Nov. 30, 2006.
NOTING THE SPARTANS
• UNC Greensboro is 0-1 on the season following a 61-46 home loss to Liberty on Friday.
• The Spartans are led by first-year head coach Wendy Palmer. Palmer joined the program in April after spending two seasons as an assistant at Virginia.
TAR HEELS IN CARMICHAEL ARENA
• Carolina is 398-89 all-time in Carmichael, including a 25-6 record since the building re-opened after being closed for renovations from March 2008 to December 2009.
• The Tar Heels have won at least 14 home games in each of the last 10 seasons, including a school-record 18 during an undefeated 2007-08 home campaign.
• UNC has lost just 15 home games since the start of the 2001-02 season. The Tar Heels have been even more stingy against non-conference opponents, losing at home just twice outside of league play in the last decade.
